LUBRICATION GUIDE
The life of any machine depends upon the care it is given. Proper lubrication is a very important part of
that care.
Be certain that all lubrication fittings are assembled in
place, using the lubrication illustrations as a guide.
Always lubricate the tractor thoroughly before taking it
to the field. Use a pressure lubricating gun.
Keep your supply of lubricating oil and grease stored in
clean containers, and covered to protect from dust and
dirt.
Keep the lubricating gun nozzle clean and wipe dirt
from grease fittings before lubricating.
Be sure all fittings are free from dirt and paint so the
lubricant is certain to enter the bearing.
Always force the lubricant through the full length of
each bearing until it emerges at the end, carrying with
it the worn lubricant and any dirt that may have entered
the bearing.
Miscellaneous working parts not provided with lubrica¬
tion fittings should be oiled daily with a good grade of
lubricating oil.
Lubricant is cheap. Use plenty of it. Worn parts can be
expensive to replace.
The symbols in the illustration indicate the method of
application and the hourly intervals to apply the
lubricant.
Use a pressure lubricating gun
and apply 251H EP grease (or
equivalent No. 2 multi-purpose
lithium grease) sufficient to
flush out the old grease and
dirt. Lubricate at hourly inter¬
vals indicated on symbols.
Dipstick, use to check engine
oil before each use.
LUBRICATION GUIDE
—BEFORE EACH USE
1. Engine filler cap and dipstick
Check the oil (with the engine stopped) and add sufficient new oil to
bring it to the "FULL" mark on the dipstick. Do not overfill. Do not
operate the engine if the oil level is below the "LOW" mark on the
dipstick.
—AFTER EVERY 10 HOURS OF OPERATION
Use 251H EP grease or equivalent No. 2 multi-purpose lithium
grease and apply sufficient grease to flush out old grease and dirt.
Use 251H EP grease or equivalent No. 2 multi-purpose lithium
grease and apply sufficient grease to flush out old grease and dirt.
NOTE: It may be necessary to rotate the front axle to reach the gease
fitting.
—AFTER EVERY 30 HOURS OF OPERATION
4. Engine oil drain plug
While the engine oil is warm, remove the drain plug and drain all of
the oil from the crankcase. Replace the drain plug. Refer to "MAIN¬
TENANCE" "FILLING THE CRANKCASE" for proper oil filling
procedure. Refer to "LUBRICATION TABLE" for the proper quan¬
tity and viscosity to use.
—AFTER EVERY 50 HOURS OF OPERATION
5. Steering box
Use 251H EP grease or equivalent No. 2 multi-purpose lithium
grease and apply sufficient grease to flush out old grease and dirt.
—EVERY 100 HOURS OF OPERATION
Use 251H EP grease or equivalent No. 2 multi-purpose lithium
grease and apply sufficient grease to flush out old grease and dirt.
Use 251H EP grease or equivalent No. 2 multi-purpose lithium
grease and apply sufficient grease to flush out old grease and dirt.
Once a year, apply a small amount of 251H EP grease or equivalent
No. 2 multi-purpose lithium grease in the slots.
Lubricate the brake pedal shaft and linkage with eight or ten drops of
engine oil.
